The Imperial Empire of Great Jameston is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King James III with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.81 billion Jamestons are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Vincent. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jamestonion economy, worth 723 trillion Kraticas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 150,428 Kraticas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, feeling like a winner comes at a price, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Jameston's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Great Jameston is ranked 19,361^st in the world and 286^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 285.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
